Coreopsis moonbeam

I have one small pot of coreopsis moonbeam and am looking for tips on best place to plant. I have a semi shaded area under a laurel tree NW facing or in a pot SW facing. Does anyone have this particular plant and can advise?

 

Do not have this particular variety, but full sun to partial shade, is its perferred location, it does better in the ground, butbthe pot SW sounds a better option.

 

Thank you. If it does better in ground I will grow on in pot until rooted well and able to be transplanted. Good advice.
